It has an active user community and provides great customer support services. It helps organizations to ensure the availability and performance of their online assets and applications.

Manager, Technology Infrastructure and Compliance

Simply an amazing product, that lets you stay on top of network outages and assess them in a timely manner. Very affordable, when it comes to cost, comparing to some other options out there.

Senior UX Designer

Pingdom is the best, quickest, easiest to use and from what I can tell the best designed in it's class.

Director Web Technology

I like that I can see the "waterfall" view of my site, which helps me to determine what elements are causing my page to load slowly. It does work and it works reliably.

Freelancer

Sometimes gives a false alert when comparing with other. Sometimes it fails to check downtime, which happens once a week or two.

Senior iOS Developer

It's a really good product, it helps to check if your servers are up and running. And it notifies you immediately.

Council Member

Has a good set of free tools for analyzing website speed. Pricing is favorable compared to competitors.

Analista de Marketing e Vendas

I highly recommend using Pingdom, since it's interface is very easy to use and it shows very clearly what's wrong and actions to improve your website performance.

President

Super easy to use and insightful read and make sense of what is going on - on your site.

Director, Quality & Processes

In addition, going over the gathered data is simple and you can see the status "in a glance. The integration with Slack is also great.

Engineer

It is a bit costly for purchasing. Reports are complex to study.

Delivery Operations Manager

The interface makes it quite simple to create multi step transactional monitors. There are a nice variety of options for alerting.

Long term wise, it is better (in terms of cost) to use pingdom to monitor uptime, page speed etc. I have yet to reached its customer support so far, so i have decided to give it a 4-star.

Full-stack Developer

I can only complain about the way they present errors, a little more order would not be wrong.

Technical Support Engineer

It pings our phones, emails, collaboration tools and we rarely have issues with it. I recommend for medium and large enterprise monitoring cross-continent.

Software Engineer

The integration of Pingdom alerts on slack proves to be very useful.

Artist

It is a really feature rich website monitoring tool. It notifies about down times and slow periods by e-mail and sms.

Head of Engineering

The different types of checks were a bit limited.

Graylog

Best way to monitor the status of your websites

Simply an amazing product, that lets you stay on top of network outages and assess them in a timely manner. Very affordable, when it comes to cost, comparing to some other options out there. I highly recommend this product.

Amazing product, great ROI

I use this for a few days and did not like it.

Basic alerts for starters

Used for years to monitor uptime

Pingdom works great, but I'm trying to get away from the SolarWinds ecosystem.

The OG Website Monitor

Pingdom has saved me many hours of troubleshooting websites and time is important.

Pingdom help maintain websites

Using pingdom on daily basis for monitoring APIs and hosts latency and uptimes.

Easy to use and great for keeping track of website crashes

Best website monitoring and speed test tool out there

Great for speed testing a site

Pingdom is a product that allows us to monitor our website from our mobile device or desktop computer. Why do I need this? Well, it allows me to keep an eye on my website stats and know when there's any downtime so I can take care of it asap. There are a lot of people who are using Pingdom and this is especially helpful for the small business owner who doesn't have a dedicated IT person or a full-time employee to manage their website for them. If Pingdom can keep track of our website stats for us, it will give us peace of mind knowing that our website is up and running and running well.

Best website monitoring tools for checking page uptime.

If you have the budget for it, it's a great solution to track website performance and receive timely alerts.

Decent tool to measure website performance

Peace of mind in knowing that I'll be alerted to website downtime. Verification of restored uptime, and reports of downtime instances are also great features.

One great piece of my  peace of mind toolset.

The use of this tool was limited to the downtime alerts and error logs and the service provided was almost perfect for us. Timely alerts for error saved us from many bad situations we could have ended in if it went undetected. 

Very useful tool to keep your website fast and always available.

Great external monitoring tool

It helps us to improve our service and performance accordingly to our customers which results in significant growth of happier customers. 

Best way to track our website up/down time

Fast efficient but costly site monitoring software

It has been great to have this alternative to Google PageSpeed, I'm always using it to improve our deliveries along with other tools.

Great insights on performance

Easy to use but difficult to understand

Solid software, but there are cheaper solutions that do the same thing.

Monitor your website performance

I have been using multiple downtime monitoring systems together, pingdom has been reliable. Sometimes using JavaScript seems to be a better solution in monitoring than using DNS. Unfortunately, it no longer offers free version unless you have been with them for a while. I love the UI on their mobile app too, though downtime notification seems a little buggy sometimes. 

Easy to setup, reliable

1. We monitor many of their nodes not working for at least 5-10 mins/day which provides many false positives
2. The few time we needed tech support answers were slow and they did not provide proper answers/solutions to the issues we had (broken dashboards, missing checks etc)

it's ok-ish

It make easy check the online status of any server, including, reading data from json endpoints. It's a must have.

A essencial tool

SolarWinds Pingdom provides valuable monitoring capabilities for IT systems and applications. It presents an accessible, easily adaptable and customizable architecture to any user. It has an active user community and provides great customer support services. It helps organizations to ensure the availability and performance of their online assets and applications.
